Never enough Chocobo: two new Chocobo DS titles in the works for Japan photo

So yeah, I like chocobo. A lot. Sure, they're cute, but the incarnation of Chocobo that you know from Chocobo Tales and Chocobo's Dungeon has more than just the adorable factor going on -- his sense of positivity and determination is admirable to me. He's just a good guy, and I never tire of playing games that feature him, hence my excitement over the news of two new Choco-centric games coming to the DS!

Square Enix announced a DS version of the new Wii title Chocobo's Dungeon and adds in Cid as a playable character and a new job class. The other game will be a sequel to the ridiculously sweet DS title Chocobo Tales, and hopefully more heated card battling with be contained within. Dungeon will hit this fall, and Tales will be out during winter. 

US release dates have not been announced yet, but considering the popularity of the little yellow bird, I think it's safe to say we will see these games stateside. Talk about the best Christmas ever -- more chocobo games than I can shake a stick at!

Hooray for Chocobos! I always wanted to play the dungeon crawling Chocobo games but I never managed to find ANY of them.

No one can see it but I'm typing with my sad face for the lack of Chocobos.

A new Chocobo Tales sounds fantastic. The first one was brilliant.

I found out about this via GoNintendo this morning and I've been waiting ever since for D-Toid to report on it. LOL, I knew you'd be the one to write about it!

This is certainly good news. The first tales game was really kiddie, but I thought it had a very polished presentation, it was a ton of fun, and the card battles were badass... especially online. I did kinda feel embarassed playing it for the first time though. My girlfriend started watching me play just as the opening cinematic started playing. Kind of an awkward moment.

I look forward to this!

I LOVED Chocobo Tales! It was so charming, and it reminded me of what old school Final Fantasy used to be like, before it started to suck.

I welcome any games with the cute chocobo

I enjoyed Chocobo Tales for it's light story and FF infused fairy tales.
Also excited for more roguelikes on the DS :)

YES! FUCK YES!

CHOCOBO TALES! CHOCOBO FREAKIN' TALES SEQUEL!

I want it...now. Can't have enough awesome card battling (if you came to accept the random nature of it) and FF fairytales.

Spent like 20 hours mastering every mini-game (man, some were hard to get a gold medal on) and I plan to spend another 20 with this one.

Collete I cant believe you would even joke about shaking a stick at a chocobo. You've changed while RFGO was gone.
